Got some deals today :))

to put a snake you just bought with your female without quaruntine is a huge no no. i hope it turns out the snake is fine because if not them you might just lose them both over the mistake. you really should have taken the advice given when you had the chance but you just shrugged it off and hooked them together anyways so i would basically say no need to stop and take their advice now you should have done so to begin to avoid something happening if the one you got could actually have health problems when i agree with all others if you think you got a steal because he didnt even check your boa then most likely you are the one that got the bad end of the deal lol and to be honest i myself would not have ever traded my boa for it not even knowing if it is a het pie. im sure alot of crooks would love to see you coming if u will buy or trade for an animal that is what ever they want to name it and most likely its probably just a normal ball.

It's definately a good idea to QT any new animal in the house...even if you trust the person you got them from. Sometimes there can even be quite a difference between what they thing and what you think 'healthy' is. And everyone makes mistakes...it would suck if someone made a mistake with an animal, and then something from that got passed on to one of their buyers.

I'm glad the new boy is doing well for you, but you should probably get a fecal on him at least, to be sure he doesn't have any parasites. Even if the guy you got him from is completely honest, parasites don't always show up in just a few months.

*psst* It's het. pied not pie. Not picking on anyone, just have seen it several times recently and thought I would mention it. I hope that is what it said on the box...if he doesn't know the name of the morph it may not be a het. at all.... =/

yeah im goin to take in a fecal of him and my female just to be safe thanks again for the advice.

and lol yeah his box did say "pied" :p. ive just gotten in to a habbit of just sayin pie. got some more pics of him btw in my "our zoo" thread

Always always qt snakes.... heres a good read on it http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=74329

Also did the vendor give you any paperwork on the snake? Like a picture document stating he was a pied het that was signed with his company name on it?

thanks for the link.

ha and no he didnt. but either way, i was actually goin to trade my boa pluss 10bux to another vondor for a normal that was 200g's less... so imo i still came out on top. het or not i got a nice looking ball that actually eats and doesn't tag me every time i get my hand 6iches from it like my boa did..
